San Franclaco Chinese Want
Quarantine Abandoned.
the
SAN FRANCISCO. June 5. The attor
neys for the Chinese Six Companies this
afternoon filed with the Clerk of the
United States Circuit Court an applica
tion for an Injunction compelling the
Board of Health of this city, to abandon
the quarantine which it has Imposed upon
the Chinatown district. The application
will be heard in open court tomorrow.
The petition is filed in the name of Jew
Ho. and recites the facts leading up to
the quarantine. It sets forth that 10,00)
persons are restrained of their liberty,
but that residents of the district other
than Chinese are not affected by the quar
antine. The petitioner denies that there
is any plague within the quarantine
quarter, or that there has been any per
son In the district afflicted with the dis
ease. Assuming that there may have
been one or two isolated cases, the peti
tioner asserts that the quarantine should
apply only to tnose Individual placet
sonable to quarantine the entire China- I
1 Inasmuch as the complaint denies the
t existence of the plague absolutely, it Is
' probable that the Health Board. In Its an-
swer. will be compelled to make some
attempt to prove the statements hereto
fore made regarding its beJef In the pres
ence of the disease in Chinatown.

FIRST OF REPUBLICAN VICTORIES
Rezmbllcaas of Beth Houses ef Coa-

and the Administration
Are Rejoicing?.
WASHINGTON, June fL The Republi
cans in both houses and the Administra
tion are rejoicing tonight at the signal
victory won for the party in Oregon. The
and are trying to gather some comfort
HOX. THOMAS H. TOXGUE,
qulcJLttie,jCfsuUjn Multnomah County,
.where it appears the Republican Legis
lative ticket was not successful. But
when the circumstances are explained,
they see little hope, as the great ma
jority for Moody and Tongue, and the
fact that the state outside of Multnomah
County. Is overwhelmingly Republican,
means that the Republican Administra
tion, expansion and the gold standard
are endorsed.
This briefly summarizes the expression
of many Republican Senators and Repre
sentatives who have discussed the mat
ter today. Senator Foraker even took
occasion to call attention In his speech
on Pettlgrew, to the great Oregon vic
tory. It is believed by all Republicans
to be the keynote of the coming cam
paign, and that it insures beyond all
question Republican success all over the
United States.
The Oregon Representatives have been
congratulated upon the result, as they are
the first Republicans to be elected, and
It is believed that the West will follow the
voice of Oregon, and elect Republicani
everywhere.
Press Comment on the Election.
The Washington Star, Independent,
says:
"Republican success in Oregon, though
expected, will hearten the Administration
and Its friends to a considerable degree.
In the first place, the battle was fought
on National issues. It was - the gold
standard against free silver.
It was ex-
nanslon as an accomplished lact, wnn
all tha obligations that go with it, against
the policy of surrender and retreat but
slightly dlsguisert unaer a sounaing pro
test against Imperialism. It was prosper-
IP 1
t30Rity, so patent that all had felt it and
Ben It, against tne ecnoes or. calamity oi
four yrars ago. In a word, It was the
St- Louis platform brought up to date
against the Chicago platform brought up
to date. In the second place, the Brjan-
ltes fought under the banner of Fusion,
s"116 r,esun wnw migni oe expecieu in
November from a similar "co-operation on
a National scale. It was not denied that
slnKle-handed the Democrats would be
powerless. It was conceded that the Pop
ulists were not as strong as formerly, but
It was' stoutly maintained that It was
still, possible for Fusion to carry the 4ay,
as against an explicit Indorsement of the
Administration such as the Republicans
had written. Nor should It be forgotten
that Mr. Bryan visited the state in per
son "and made a number of speeches. As
an entertainer, Mr. Bryan ranks high; as
vote-catcher he is by no means so ef-
J fectlve.
"But While Oregon Is a heartener for the
Republlcans.-the result there should not
fln them with too great confidence for
November. There is a battle ahead which
promises to call for all the men they
can muster and all the union of effort they
, can produce. The material Interests of
Oregon, as a Pacific Slope State, are so
, identified with the Republican policy of
expansion, commercial and territorial, in
, the Pacific that no other result of the
, election coud reasonably have been an.
tlcipated. To every state of the Pacific
Coast trade expansion in that ocean, fos
tered by the Republican policy, means
great and steadily Increasing prosperity,
the beginning of which all enjoy. Natur
ally, the Coast will not vote against local
prosperity."

General Botha ana most of his men got
away from Pretoria. This is inferred
